the investigator who launched the investigation of david petraeus is under suspicion himself. he's accused of sending of himsa woman involved in the case. no, we aren't making this up. it is the latest development in the gen. petraeus sex scandal. his secret exposed days before he was set to testify about benghazi and after the election. is if coincidence or coverup? >> i have a hard time believing the whole story. first of all how an e-mail matter becomes an fbi matter, how it was investigated so many months and it wasn't until election night the fbi suddenly realized it involved david petraeus? if they were investigating three or four months, that would have been the first thing they found out. then should have brought it to the president's attention so none of it adds up. the challenging thing for gen. petraeus, with his new position he's not allowed to communicate with the press. he's known about it. they have had correspondents with the cia in libya within 24 hours they knew what was happening. >> petraeus wags telling her things. she said there was a failure in the syste
